More Than 1,000 Show Up To See 'Mayor Pete' At Northeastern University

[left-of-center2012]

More than 1,000 people showed up for the talk by "Mayor Pete," according to a WBUR tally, blasting the university's expectation that about 150 people would show up.

The young audience responded enthusiastically to much that Buttigieg said: about the urgency of responding to climate change, about his husband, about the importance of millennials and the generation after them participating in politics.

Some attendees were workers in their 20s and 30s, but most were Northeastern students interested in a candidate not too much older than they.

"He's a millennial" said Kyle Ozeuna. "He's 37, kind of in touch with what people in this room might be more interested in than other candidates."
